Description Finally hammered out all the details and overall theme of my central character for the story I am putting together, The Night Shepherd.

The name is starting to grow on me more and more, it's something unusual and different but still gives that feeling of a protector of the innocent. The dark look and tone to the character gives that outlaw/vigilante look and the pants and belt give a militaristic look to him as well.

You wouldn't believe how many themes and looks I went through before deciding on the one above. I must have drawn this guy thirty different times before this one. At first it was an animal theme, and then a ghost theme but I am pretty happy with this end result.

I like the idea of super heroes that have flaws and weaknesses. I like them more human than super human, and wanted to tell that tyoe of story with this character.

As far as a background and motivations, you will just have to wait until I get some more pages inked and colored. Page one is inked and formatted, just got to slap some color on it. I will finish the first 3 or 4 pages and then start posting them online. It is going to be a slow process as I am the only one doing all the work here, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Let me know what you think so far!

Thanks man, glad you like the name! And I agree with you on the shortage of good names out there too.

So true! I think we're down to gems like "Bob the Remarkable Fellow" and " Jennifer, the cosmic housewife"

He could come off as a touch plain, but I can see it being badass in sequentials if everything is moody enough.
